How Guitar Consignment Works
Get a Free Guitar Evaluation
Send us your guitar photos and information for a free evaluation. We’ll review your guitar and determine whether it’s a good fit for our consignment program. If it’s a match, we’ll give you a realistic, market-driven sale price estimate with no inflated numbers.
Send or Bring Us Your Guitar
Once your guitar is accepted, you can safely ship it to us or bring it to our store. If shipping, you’ll be responsible for insured shipping to and from Eddie’s. Your guitar should arrive in standard playable condition. If restringing or a setup is needed, we’ll arrange service with a third-party technician, and the applicable service fee will be deducted from your sale proceeds.
Let Us Handle the Rest
We photograph, list, market, and present your guitar to qualified buyers. Once the sale clears, we deduct our commission and mail your check within 10 business days. For an additional $350 fee, you can also add a demo video to help buyers hear and see your guitar in action.
